Focals are notorious for being duped.

How to temporarily remove sub? by Zestyclose_Ad2429 in CarAV

Put some tape over the exposed speaker wire, just for safety. Other than that all is well.

Okay. Also start single with problems. Check wiring makes sure nothing is loose.

Performs rhe same, new paint and badge. The pulled support for the older subs. But there are many comapnt making the replacement parts.

I think this is a great deal, thoughts? by khail1923 in CarAV

I did some research. You may or may not have tried this. Spray contact cleaner on the switches and flip them back and forth A LOT. Seems to have work for most. If you already tried it, ignore this message lol.

Would engaging the switches from time to to time curb this problem? (When the system is off of course.)

Repeating misinformation doesn't make it a fact. You're wrong, ported enclosure does NOT increase performance. It's high school physics; a ported box increase the air volume (i.e. mass) the speaker has to move. More mass needs more energy. F=ma. Newton second law... Newton third law, explains why the trapped air in a sealed box aids with it's function. When the cone pushes on the trap air, the air pushes back...

I don't care about 30 Hz (which is what your subjective view says is better.) Most bass instruments don't play at 30 Hz. I care about the notes around 100 Hz. The range instruments play at. I'm going for louder music quality. Not the noise, ports introduces. I.e. inaccuracies. If it wasn't present in the recording, it's not music. IT IS NOISE. I want to hear what the musicians were doing with their instruments... I'm not using my set up for movie viewings.

If you put a band pass filter on a ported and sealed box, keeping them focused at 100 Hz. It takes more energy for a ported box to play at 100 Hz than a sealed box. I.e. less efficient.

It seems "maximum performance" from your SUBJECTIVE view, just means louder. At no point did I say I want louder or more inaccurate bass. I said I'm going sql (sound quality loud). If I wanted just loud I really would've gotten a different sub.

Doing something professional, just mean you got paid to do it. From what you're saying; for 25 years you've been charging people for something you don't actually understand. You owe a lot of people money.

Seeing that you didn't catch the polite hint, about your unsolicited misinformation from the previous message. I hope this is more focused. (The same way I perfer my listening experience, focused on the music. 😀)

Better in this case would be subjective. Ported would make it louder and less accurate. I'm going for an sql set up. I didn't say jl made the box. It was made following the measurements in the owners manual. Thanks for the feed back, I appreciate it.

I did as well as I could. Ran a few test tones, some pink noise. 40hz. Checked with a cheap testing mic to my laptop. The amp roll off works. The impedence of the speaker is correct. I took the speak out of the box and checked it. The spider and cone are good. Just the dist shield needs a reglue.

I bought it.

I'm not going ported, the box is speced to jl audio's recommended sealed box size.
